Tabletop Tapestry, Contemporary Abstract Still Life Painting 40x40 inches

2024

Jodi Ferrier is a Washington, DC based artist whose contemporary paintings gracefully navigate the space between abstraction and representation. Ferrier’s creative process is driven by a profound sense of urgency and a deep-seated desire to capture ephemeral beauty. She approaches the canvas with vigor, using bold, energetic brush strokes. Some paintings reveal themselves swiftly, encapsulating moments of simple beauty, while others develop through layers of exploration and reaction. This dynamic, spontaneous dialogue with her work allows Ferrier to move beyond mere representation, creating pieces that embody the optimism, hope, and wonder that first inspired her. Ferrier's themes include landscapes, figures, still lifes, abstracts, florals, interiors, architecture and abstracted portraits. Her work spans sizes from 5"x5" to oversized paintings as large as 5'x8'. Her works are on canvas, wood and paper. Some larger works on canvas are unstretched and will ship rolled. Ferrier has received multiple Artist Fellowships from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities and has participated in prestigious artist residency programs both nationally and abroad. Her work has been widely exhibited throughout the Washington, DC metropolitan area and is held in private collections, commercial spaces, and by the DC Government.
